build investor trust, reduce greenwashing risks, and support the growth of a credible and resilient green finance market in Vietnam.
The handbook was introduced at a seminar held by the SSC in collaboration with the British Embassy on October 13.

achieve net-zero emissions by 2050and green bonds are a key instrument for mobilizing private capital toward environmentally beneficial projects.
The success of green bonds relies on investor confidence in the transparent and effective use of funds, emphasized Gibson.
